Remember, it's for *users*, not *cookers*. The kind of thing a new user who has never used linux before will notice (yes, I did notice the update applet in Windows XP the first time I had ever used it, and it's not like I use Windows much anymore) and be able to administer (ie set when it runs, what it does etc etc etc) without having to read a man page, run it with --help, adjust a config file or anything else. The kind of tool you have to be an idiot not to use sucessfully (even when trying to make it not work). Is that a bit clearer??? If you are still in doubt, install either RH9 or Windows XP (your choice ;-)) ... Would this be the kind of tool I would use? Probably not (since most of my boxes run urpmi.update update_source;urpmi --auto-select --auto - --media update_source from cron), but then again, I don't qualify to determine if it's the tool new users would want based on whether I want it ...
